Dillon Brooks – A Valuable Option for Your NBA DFS Lineup on DraftKings
For those looking for a solid value play in their NBA DFS lineup tonight on DraftKings, Dillon Brooks should not be overlooked. Despite his tendency to be an inconsistent player, Brooks is still taking on a significant role for the Memphis Grizzlies, averaging 15.2 shots per game in 31 minutes of play. This level of usage is typically seen from players priced at $7K, but Brooks is currently priced at just $4900.
During a 17-game stretch earlier in the season when teammate Kyle Anderson was out, Brooks was able to average 19.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists, resulting in an average of 32 fantasy points per game. The Pacers, Brooks’ opponents for tonight, have a tendency to allow the most fantasy points to opposing small forwards.
While Brooks may be in a bit of a shooting slump at the moment, his low salary is too good of a value to pass up. In the previous meeting between these two teams, Brooks did not play, providing an added element of surprise for the Pacers’ defense to deal with.
With the Grizzlies facing a crucial moment in their season, Brooks could be a key player in stepping up. Although he may not always be a high scorer, Brooks’ ability to take over a game and produce 25-30 fantasy points at his low salary make him a valuable option for your NBA DFS lineup tonight. On Friday, he played 37 minutes for the Grizzlies, taking 17 shots, but finishing the day with a low 26 DraftKings fantasy points due to a 2-for-10 performance from beyond the arc. If his three-pointers are on target tonight, Brooks could be a great addition to your optimal lineup. Even if they’re not, he likely won’t harm your lineup too much on this small slate.
